Jordan Salkin is in his third season with the Bengals, and his first in the role of assistant quarterbacks coach. He served as assistant wide receivers coach in 2025, after joining the staff as an offensive assistant in '24.

In 2025, Salkin worked with a dynamic Bengals WR corps headlined by fifth-year pro Ja'Marr Chase and sixth-year pro Tee Higgins. Chase finished the year ranking third in the NFL in receptions (125) and fourth in receiving yards (1412), with both totals pacing all AFC players. He also set a Bengals single-season record with seven games of 100 or more receiving yards. Higgins tied for second leaguewide and led the AFC with a career-high 11 receiving TDs, while also contributing 846 receiving yards on 59 catches (14.3 yards per reception). Both players were named to the Pro Bowl, with Chase collecting his fifth career honor and Higgins earning his first.

In 2024, Salkin helped scheme a Bengals offense that led the league in passing (272.9 yards per game; team record). Fifth-year QB Joe Burrow compiled his best statistical season, as he paced the NFL and set Cincinnati single-season records in completions (460), passing yards (4918) and TD passes (43), on the way to receiving his second career Pro Bowl nod and being named the league's Comeback Player of the Year. Chase became the youngest player in the Super Bowl era to claim the receiving "Triple Crown," as he led the league in receptions (127), receiving yards (1708) and receiving TDs (17).

Salkin came to Cincinnati after spending the 2023 season as quarterbacks coach at the University of Oregon. In Salkin's lone season on staff, the Ducks led the nation in total offensive TDs (82) and passing yards (346.9 per game), while ranking second in total yards (531.4), second in scoring (44.2 points), and third in third-down percentage (51 percent). QB Bo Nix set single-season program records and led the nation both in passing yards (4508) and TD passes (45), while WRs Tez Johnson and Troy Franklin each ranked in the top 25 both in receptions and receiving yards. Prior to Oregon, Salkin spent the 2022 season as a defensive analyst at the University of North Carolina.

Salkin's first NFL coaching experience came in 2021, when he served as a quality control coach for the Miami Dolphins. Working primarily on the offensive side of the ball, he helped QB Tua Tagovailoa post the second-highest completion percentage in a season in team history (67.8, seventh in NFL), while WR Jaylen Waddle set a then-NFL rookie record for receptions (104; since surpassed).

Salkin spent the 2020 season as quarterbacks coach at the University of New Mexico. Despite being limited to seven games due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lobos used four different starting QBs. Salkin helped QB Teveka Tuioti post a 133.5 passer rating in two starts, as he threw for four TDs against just one INT.

Prior to his stint at New Mexico, Salkin spent three seasons (2017-19) at the University of Texas, beginning as a graduate assistant before serving as an offensive quality control coach with a focus on quarterbacks in his final two years. In 2019, he helped QB Sam Ehlinger tie for the Big 12 Conference lead in TD passes (32) and rank second in passer rating (151.8). In 2018, Ehlinger's 275 completions ranked second in the Big 12 and were the most by a Longhorns QB since '09.

Salkin spent the 2016 season as an offensive quality control coach at Rutgers University, where he worked with the team's quarterbacks. He broke into the coaching ranks as an offensive quality control coach at James Madison University from 2014-15. In 2015, the Dukes ranked 10th in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) in total yards per game (484.6).

Salkin was born on April 29, 1992 in Long Island, N.Y. He graduated from the University of West Virginia with a bachelor's degree in sports management in 2014.
